About Me

I'm Richard. I am the creator of Linguaspectrum, the best place online to learn and practice English for free, and Linguaspectrum PLUS, the web's best online language school. I've also created other websites, including my newest site, Britlish.com

I am an experienced and qualified English Teacher and I have given 4,885 online English classes by Skype to 136 students in 37 countries since 2006.

I'm passionate about teaching English and can think of no better way to spend my time. I am also a professional writer, publishing my first article in 1984, and the passion of my working life has always been the English language. I can't imagine a better job than that of teaching English to students across the world. It is a privilege to meet and to teach so many wonderful people in so many countries. And all of this without ever once having to step outside my own home. The benefits of technology!

My speciality is British English pronunciation and the IPA chart. I have been teaching this to students and teachers for over a decade and have also written some books on the subject, including an Interactive PDF eBook and online coursewhich will help you to learn the chart, and also to reproduce the correct sounds for each of the 44 symbols. Never again will you be afraid that you are going to mispronounce a word.

I am flexible and adaptable and always keep my student's needs uppermost in my thoughts. As far as I am concerned, my students are in charge of their own learning while I guide them along on the exciting journey that is the English language.

I love to teach and my students love to learn. It's the perfect combination!
